In good company, in fantastic new spaces!

The goal of Capsule is to provide a forum for the best brands in the world to collectively present product to the very top tier of retailer and the fashion press corps. Beyond that, we pride ourselves on providing a fantastic atmosphere; whether an indescribable vibe, a neighborhood that inspires, or a building that’s had myriad previous lives, Capsule is always special. It’s with great pride that we present some new venues for S/S 2013:

PARIS - CITÉ DE LA MODE

We’re just some Americans in Paris bringing some knockout clothes to the most exciting fashion week in the world. Well, that’s what we’ve always thought. But when the city had plans for building a centralized hub of fashion commerce and buzz, and invited yours truly to partner with them in venue and spirit, we couldn’t help feeling a little bit flattered and fancy. Cité de la Mode has already been home to the Lanvin showroom and some super high profile runway shows for a few seasons, it’s got (like our NYC venue) sick river views and brand new finishings, plus a lineup of special events, clubs and exhibitions planned with the likes of Nicholas Ghesquiere, Comme des Garçons, Silencio, Le Baron, Le Pompon and more….whoa. In the 13th arrondisement, just a hop skip from le Marais. We’re so excited.

BERLIN-POSTBAHNHOF

To us, Berlin is a city so teeming with an unmatched combo of history and raw, new energy it makes sense for Capsule to move into one of the city’s most exciting venues. Postbhanhof was formerly (1842) a train terminal and then later, devoted to the postal system. It boasts the historical beauty that modern structures lack – think big gothic windows and massive halls both at street level and above, and a completely refurbished interior which means smooth sailing from a production standpoint. A convenient location, bananas views and space to breathe. We can’t wait!

NEW YORK-BASKETBALL CITY/PIER 36

When we stumbled upon 75,000 square feet of blank canvas, brand new, temperature controlled, kitted out space on our fair isle of Manhattan, well, we were pleased to say the least. Beautiful bathrooms, a mezzanine from which to overlook the show floor and built in lighting options galore would be enough. But plop the whole thing down on the Lower East Side, throw open the doors for direct East River access and finish everything with a panorama that includes the majestic bridges plus the Statue of Liberty and you’ve got the spot for what promises to be our most amazing New York show ever.

LAS VEGAS-THE VENETIAN, 3RD FLOOR

Were you there for our second Las Vegas show? When we were in a (relatively) tiny ballroom and the place was packed with editors, cool kids and all the best buyers? That was a goodie. Lucky for all of us, and just to keep you on your toes, we’re headed back to the third floor of the Venetian ballrooms, to our cozy nest, but this time as you may have guessed, we’ve got the whole floor. Right off the Grand Canal Shoppes. You know, where the mime is. Follow the Rococo carpet and fly with us. It’s gonna be a fantastic summer.
